FC5 i386 or x86_64 which way to go?

I'm not hardware knowledgeable, so I've no idea whether the 64bit stuff 
will even work on my hardware.

Its the best hardware I have available, so it is going to be my 
workstation. I realise it'll probably struggle (I'm used to that). 
Regardless, I'd like to run the best it will run without getting too 
heavily bogged down _or_ spitting the dummy!

Mobo:	AOpen Ax34 Pro II
CPU:	P3 1Ghz
Ram:	768MB

Hmmm! While I think of it, I should also add that the machine that is my 
current workstation is going to be the new server (mail, file & web - if 
I ever get around to putting anything there). It too is going to be 
running FC5, (if I can get it to wear it).

Mobo:	ALX440 (I think)
CPU:	P3 800Mhz
Ram:	384MB

If possible, I'd like 'em both to run the same version of the OS - only 
one set of ISO's to download and burn to disk that way.

Any help would be appreciated

Allan
